According to the actress, one of the biggest factors that helped her recover was surrounding herself with supportive people who helped her regain emotional stability during her lowest moments.
"I surrounded myself with the right people para may emotional support ako from my loved ones. And you know, importante rin talaga 'yung pagdadasal sa Diyos," kuwento niya.
She further emphasized that her faith became a strong anchor during her darkest times.
"Doon talaga kay Lord kumapit during my darkest moments in life na akala ko wala akong kakampi. Kumapit lang ako kay Lord, and everything became better day by day."
Ashley also took time to remind others that it is normal to feel different emotions, including sadness, and that healing takes time and patience.
"You just have to go through it, every pain. Just don't give up, and huwag ka lang ma-stuck sa pinagdadaanan mo. Just don't be stuck, para you have to keep moving forward," she advised.
Her heartfelt revelations come as Apoy sa Dugo approaches its finale week, airing weekdays at 4:05 p.m. on GMA Afternoon Prime, where viewers can expect more intense and emotional scenes.
